Animal Bite Injuries

Animal Bite Lawyer

A serious animal bite can leave lasting physical and emotional scars. If you or a loved one has been bitten or attacked by a dog or another animal because of someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

At the Law Offices of Elvis C. Banks, we understand the pain, trauma, and financial burden an animal attack can cause. Our team is committed to helping victims recover compensation while holding negligent animal owners accountable.

Common Animal Bite Injuries

Animal attacks can cause injuries ranging from minor wounds to life-changing trauma, including:

  • Puncture wounds
  • Deep lacerations
  • Broken bones
  • Nerve damage
  • Facial injuries
  • Permanent scarring and disfigurement
  • Infections, including rabies or tetanus concerns
  • Emotional trauma, anxiety, and PTSD
  • Injuries requiring reconstructive or plastic surgery

Children and older adults are often at a greater risk of suffering severe injuries from animal attacks.

Who May Be Liable?

Depending on the circumstances, several parties may be responsible for your injuries, including:

  • Dog or animal owners
  • Property owners
  • Landlords (in certain situations)
  • Businesses or facilities responsible for animal care
  • Animal handlers or caretakers

Our legal team will investigate the facts of your case to determine who may be legally responsible.

What to Do After an Animal Bite

If you have been bitten or attacked:

  1. Seek immediate medical treatment.
  2. Report the attack to local animal control or law enforcement.
  3. Identify the animal and its owner, if possible.
  4. Take photographs of your injuries and the location of the attack.
  5. Keep all medical records, bills, and receipts.
  6. Avoid discussing your claim with the insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
